[Intro]
C Am C Am C
[Verse 1]
CShe could sing like patsy cline, and pFreach like billy Cgraham
Tears would stain the altar, when she'd sing just as GI am
She Cwalked my down the aisle, where Jesus wFashed my sins away
I'm standing here todGay 'cause mama prayed
[Chorus]
I Cnever saw a mountain moved Fbecause my mama Cprayed
But she could sAmure move Gheaven
I never Csaw her touch the multitudes
But Ftrust me when I Csay, Amshe could sure touch Gheaven
Looking Cback she wouldn't quit, 'till aFll her kids were saved
I'm standing here Gtoday 'cause mama AmprayedC  
[Verse 2]
She could quote the old king james, and make the FBible come Calive
She loved the old, old stories, you could see it in her Geyes
She Cmade me want to know the Lord, and Flearn about His ways
I'm standing here toCday 'cause mama prayed
[Bridge]
GMama prayed when times were bad, mama Fprayed when times were good
Mama Gprayed when folks were acting like they Gshould
Mama Gprayed because she loved them, saints and sFinners all the same
Mama Gprayed for me the most in Jesus Fname
[Chorus]
I never Csaw a mountain moved beFcause my mama pCrayed
But she could sAmure move Gheaven
I never Csaw her touch the multitudes
But Ftrust me when I Csay, Amshe could sure touch hGeaven
Looking Cback she wouldn't quit, 'till Gall her kids were saved
I'm standing here tGoday 'cause mama prayedF  
I'm standing here tGoday 'cause maAmma prayedC  Am
